Abstract
In the present book chapter, we have interrogated not only the nature of dark tourism but also the evolution of tourism since the former century to date. We have offered a model based on three stages of tourism, each one conditioned by a turning point or founding event. Classic tourism was originated in the WWII end but finalized as a result of Oil embargo in 1970. A new sustainable form of tourism supported by heritage finally came to stay until the attacks to the US. The surfacing of new morbid form of tourism witnessed the exhaustion of an industry chiefly worried to face unnumberable global risks.
